The insurgents were eventually caught and executed, and Tagge was among those rewarded for his aid in stopping the threat. He watched in anger as footage came in of the insurgents destroying both space and surface operations on the ground. During the meeting, word arrived that the insurgents were attacking Imperial assets on Lucazec, which alarmed Tagge due to TaggeCo having operations there. That year, Tagge gathered with the rest of the Joint Chiefs on Coruscant to confer with members of the Imperial Ruling Council and the intelligence agencies of COMPNOR to discuss the attacks carried out by a group of insurgents who had hijacked Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's personal vessel, the Carrion Spike. He was considered a rival to the head of the Naval Intelligence Agency, Vice Admiral Dodd Rancit.

By 14 BBY, Tagge held the rank of General and had risen to head the Army in the capacity of Chief of the Imperial Army he served on the Joint Chiefs.

Within a year of the formation of the Galactic Empire, the autocratic government that replaced the Galactic Republic at the end of the Clone Wars, Tagge had joined it and became an officer within the Imperial Army. However, Cylo's betrayal caused the Emperor to lose faith in Tagge, leading to his demotion and, soon after, his execution by Vader.Ī male human from Tepasi, Cassio Tagge was born to a noble and wealthy family who owned and operated TaggeCo, a company that notably had mining interests on Lucazec. Despite success in anti- piracy operations, his tenure was marked by his acrimonious relationship with Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith-causing Tagge to increasingly rely on the cyberneticist Cylo as his enforcer. As the new Supreme Commander of the Imperial Military, he relied on systems analysis and attempted to reorient Imperial strategy to rely on numerical superiority. In the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, Tagge served as General and opposed the efforts of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin and Admiral of the Fleet Conan Antonio Motti to base Imperial military policy around the DS-1 Death Star Mobile Battle Station superweapon.įollowing the Battle of Yavin and the destruction of the battlestation, Tagge was elevated to the rank of Grand General by Emperor Sheev Palpatine. Born into the wealthy and powerful Tagge family of Tepasi, Tagge held the position of Chief of the Imperial Army serving on the Joint Chiefs, he had access to the upper-levels of the Imperial Palace. He alone was properly wary of the Rebels' threat.' ―Darth Sidious Ĭassio Tagge was a high- ranking human male officer during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Vader Force Choked Ozzel to death.' Tagge always argued against the arrogance of the Death Star as a sole weapon. Piett pointed out the Rebel base didn't seem to have a shield. Ozzel told Vader bombers would be 'rathouse' against shields and that Ozzel was using instead some prototype tanks he found in the demo vids because they could punch straight through shields. Vader asked Ozzel if the hoverbombers were ready. Piett stammered that Vader might want to ask Ozzel about that. Vader ordered Piett to have the hoverbombers prepare an aerial assault. On the main Star Destroyer, Piett reported to Vader that they'd found the Rebel base on Hoth. When Ozzel started to object, Vader began Force Choking Ozzel, warning him he'd failed Vader for the second last time. Piett started to reply, only to be interrupted by Vader declaring the Rebels were there and to have the fleet set course to Hoth. Darth Vader approached them, asking what they'd found. Ozzel (with a thick Space Australain accent) dismissed it as nothing. Onboard an Imperial Star Destroyer, Captain Piett noted to Admiral Ozzel that the Imperial droid they sent to Hoth just failed to report after finding a life signal, and that the odds were that that meant the Rebels were on Hoth.

He was choked from a distance by Darth Vader after failing him for the last time by providing prototype armoured tanks instead of the planned bombers, although the tanks under the command of General Veers led a successful assault on the Rebel base before they were single-handedly destroyed by Luke Amidala. Admiral Ozzel was an NPC, an Imperial admiral in charge of the logistics of the attack on the Rebel base on Hoth.
